So I was chatting to one of the ladies the other day about the little voice in our head
That we let sabotage ourselves..
Almost like this irrational side of us which justifies our behaviours..
“there’s no point exercising if it’s for an hour, as anything less is pointless”
^^^ Feelings are not facts…research has shown that even standing up from your chair at your desk improves insulin sensitivity and reduces your risk of diabete…
“It takes too long”
^^^ planning meals or thinking about your nutrition or priortising your exercise. I get it. It does take time…
But you want to change, right?
You have to spend your time doing something..
And something we spoke about was the time spent:
“worry about getting ill”
“Feeling out of breath doing things that used to be easy”
“Stressing about the clothes that no longer fit”
“Not feeling confident to wear jeans”
“Feeling bloated”
“Beating yourself up for lacking willpower”
“Comfort eating and then feeling annoyed”
^^^ So much energy, time and even money LOST..
It begs the question:
How much more time are you willing to lose?
As the saying goes,
Sooner or later, your health has to be a priority..
This brings me on to this:
progress can sometimes be so small
you don’t see it…
there may be no instant gratification..
example yesterday:
“I stuck to my food intake but I didn’t have the healthiest choices”
This is a huge win..
Why?
Well, what does ‘healthiest’ mean?
I would argue that portioning your food even when you feel you haven’t been ‘healthy’ is ‘HEALTHY’ if you would usually
Say ‘F it” what’s the point…
You see, she didn’t even realise just how amazing this was.
And sure
You might not change forever overnight.
In fact, you will have obstacles on the way..
They are there to help you..
Help you become self aware of the situation
And understand what the triggers are.
Just be mindful that negatives are needed too…
But whenerver there is a negative..
Don’t fight it and try to suppress it..
Accept it and look for the positive..
Because there is one waiting, staring you in the face.
Which might just the way you feel, your energy, what you do and as a result?
YOUR RESULTS
With your health
Energy
And body
